Environmental Management

9. Re: RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - APPROVAL OF FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT AND CHEVRON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO ALLOW CHEVRON TO UTILIZE HARBOR DEPARTMENT SITE ASSESSMENT AGREEMENTS

Tranmsittal 1

SUMMARY: The Environmental Management Division (EMD) requests approval of the proposed subject Funding Agreement (Agreement) between Chevron Environmental Management Company (Chevron), a corporation, and the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department). The proposed Agreement will allow Chevron to utilize the services of Tetra Tech, Inc., an environmental consulting firm under contract with the Harbor Department, in order to better accommodate access and scheduling issues associated with China Shipping's terminal operations. Currently, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) requires Chevron to install ten groundwater wells and conduct quarterly monitoring of those wells as part of Chevron's continuing obligation to clean up contamination at its former Berths 97-102 Marine Oil Terminal (MOT). The groundwater wells are located on China Shipping's Berth 100 container terminal. Under the proposed Agreement, EMD's Site Assessment Agreements would be used to perform the required monitoring work for Chevron in order to streamline the administrative permitting process and prevent disruptions to China Shipping's terminal operations. After completion of each monitoring event, the invoices would be directly submitted to Chevron for payment. Since Chevron will pay the work invoices directly, there will be no actual expenditure of Harbor Department funds. However, for contractual reasons, funding for the term of the proposed Agreement in the amount of $362,361 requires approval from the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board). This amount includes a 30% well installation contingency of $34,006, as requested by Chevron, should unanticipated delays occur.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) approve the proposed Agreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and Chevron Environmental Management Company, a corporation, for a term of three years; (3) approve funding in the amount of $362,361 for the term of the proposed Agreement; (4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to, said Agreement for and on behalf of the Board; and (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.

10. Re: RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - REQUEST TO DECLARE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HABOR DEPARTMENT LAND LOCATED ON JOHN S. GIBSON BOULEVARD AS SURPLUS PROPERTY

Transmittal 1

SUMMARY: The Cargo & Industrial Real Estate Division recommends the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) to initiate the process of declaring City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) property located between the I-110 Harbor Freeway and John S. Gibson Boulevard as surplus property. The subject property is no longer needed for the use of the Harbor Department. It has no utility beyond the small parcels leased for cell phone towers. The parcel of land does not lend itself to any useful development by the Harbor Department due to its extreme slope and limited buildable areas and other issues with the property as described below. The Harbor Department is financially responsible for expenditures associated with the initial declaration of real property as surplus including an appraisal of the property which is one of the requirements of the Los Angeles Administrative Code and will be needed in setting a price for auction. The estimated cost needed to begin this process including appraisal and title services is $11,000. Staff plans to return with the proposed Ordinance and Notice of Sale setting the minimum bid once the preliminary information is obtained.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines as determined by the Director of Environmental Management; (2) find and declare that the property located on John S. Gibson Boulevard (portions of Assessor Parcel Numbers 7440-016-911, 7440-016-907, and 7412-024-902) as surplus, since the property is no longer needed for the use of the Harbor Department and public interest and necessity requires the sale; (3) direct staff to comply with Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 7.21 et seq. and California Government Code requirements and proceed with the disposal of the surplus property; and (4) adopt Resolution No.____________.

11. Re: RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - APPROVAL OF A TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM COST SHARE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT AND THE PORT OF LONG BEACH TO FUND A DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ZERO EMISSION CARGO TRANSPORT PROJECT WITH THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

Transmittal 1

SUMMARY: The Environmental Management Division recommends the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approve the Cost Share Agreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB) to fund a Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) Technology Advancement Program (TAP) project (Cost Share Agreement). TAP funding will be used as co-funding for the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Zero Emission Cargo Transport Grant Projects administered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) for the development and demonstration of drayage trucks by four technology providers: Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), Transportation Power (TransPower), U.S. Hybrid, and Gas Technology Institute (GTI). The recommended TAP funding amount of $1,133,979 will be shared equally between the Harbor Department and the POLB in a contract to be entered into between POLB and AQMD. The TAP funding will be passed through the AQMD equally to the four technology developers to assist them with co-funding the DOE grant. AQMD will not be compensated for administering the TAP funds. The proposed action is to approve a cost share agreement with the POLB, under which the Harbor Department will reimburse POLB fifty percent of the TAP funding in the not-to-exceed amount of $566,990 for a term of six years.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II, Section 2(f) and Article III, Class 6(2) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) approve the Technology Advancement Program Cost Share Agreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and the Port of Long Beach for the reimbursement of $566,990 to the Port of Long Beach for the DOE Zero Emission Cargo Transport Grant Projects; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and Board Secretary to attest to said agreement for and on behalf of the Board of Harbor Commissioners; and (4) adopt Resolution No.____________.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Management Division recommends the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approve two Memoranda of Agreements (Agreements) whereby remaining money in the China Shipping Amended Stipulated Judgment (ASJ) community mitigation fund would be transferred from the Harbor Department to the Harbor Community Benefit Foundation (HCBF) for air quality improvement projects that would principally benefit the harbor communities of Wilmington and San Pedro, and to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to provide funding for the demonstration of an overhead catenary zero emission truck project that is currently underway. These Agreements are entered into in accordance with the ASJ, which states that any China Shipping community mitigation funds not committed to particular projects within a certain time period would be transferred to an independent air quality mitigation program available to administer the funds, provided such program is mutually agreeable to the parties of the settlement. The parties to the settlement are the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and the Petitioners, including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), San Pedro Peninsula Homeowners United, San Pedro and Peninsula Homeowners' Coalition, and the Coalition for Clean Air.
